💥 Pain Is Not a Detour—It’s the Path

Too many believers think trouble means God left them.
But Paul didn’t say the Christian life is painless.
He said it’s survivable.

You can be crushed and still committed.
Bruised but still believing.
Broken but still moving forward.

🔥 Faith Is Proven in the Fire, Not the Sunshine

The presence of pain doesn’t mean the absence of God.
Sometimes, it means you’re right in the middle of His plan.

God never promised ease—He promised endurance.
And endurance doesn’t come from soft pews and good vibes.
It comes from grit.

🛡️ You’re Still Standing Because God Is Still Holding You

You might be pressed—but you’re not crushed.
Not because you’re strong—but because He’s faithful.

🗣️ Say it:

“Lord, I’ll trust You when it hurts, not just when it helps.”
